A certain "Mike W" won it and never got to meet or thank him in person.

So help me find "Mike W" somewhere online so I can say "Thank you" 🫶

Sounds terrific.

Would be interested in naming conventions and how best to use flippercloud, where’s the best “you’re holding it wrong video” for us to watch?

Doesn’t it play iPad apps?

Fact. Tell me you’re playing on Vision Pro.

What did you say to him/her?

I should invent a secret handshake for those who know.

Nice shirt.

Enjoy RailsConf. 😉

Marco is an absolute “machine for good” in the Open Source Ruby community. Can’t wait to try this out.

Ahhh #brightonruby was epic! I had the best time!
- I went on stage to talk about theoretical computer science and people didn’t hate it! (or if they did, they haven’t told me 😆)
- I listened to really incredible speakers with amazing talks. The quality was mind blowing 🤯
- laughed so much and …

Brighton Ruby lanyard with hand written name “Sarah Knight” and stickers of emojis in the “talk to me about” section. Emojis are: Ruby, American Football, Rainbow and the word “she” in blue.

Another lovely and inspiring Brighton Ruby! Interesting talks as always. I also enjoyed the minimalist lanyard approach. Very quick and environmentally friendly! #BrightonRuby

Really lovely and restorative day and a bit in Brighton for #brightonruby . Thank you @andycroll for putting on a fantastic event and giving me the excuse to come and catch up with some old ruby friends.

#brightonruby is really one of the best ways to experience the awesomeness of the Ruby community.

I mean, how often can you spend an evening chatting about Japanese girls metal bands, devops, kouign amann and management in a single evening?

Personal Brighton Ruby outcomes.

🌟Energy levels, massively heightened.
🌟Interest in Accessibility, re-ignited.

🌟Number of people I’m following on socials, increased.

#brightonruby #ruby #rails

Went to my first Ruby conference and #brightonruby is really great, predictably great people, can definitely recommend!
Plus an inspired talk on some logic puzzles by @rosa.codes which gave me such fond memories of formal linguistics. Also that I should read the Agda book I have!
